First of all this was a pretty decent anime.
once you get past the slow start you are abruptly thrown into the plot starter (Mukuro Rokudo)
This anime does not include all the manga's events which is kind of disappointing.....(manga ending is disappointing)

But the story idea was a good one... I mean
Ordinary Japanese boy is suddenly next in line to be a mafia boss!?! sounds awesome right?
But NO it's not.
REBORN! was a great plot for an anime but it fell flat because.
Tsuna did not have any character changes.
NOR did anyone else for that matter.....
It's a great watch to pass the time if your looking for no character development whatsoever and decent fights.
But if you are!
Don't watch this expecting for these kids to become more mature or something.... (like Ichigo did when he beat the SHIT out of Aizen) (show less)

second review in a day and animeaccess still ignores reviews.
whatever.

pros
+ looks like a typical shounen but a lot of crazy ideas make it unique (which other anime includes the mafia...?)
+ good character development plus a variety of truly original charas
+ combines fun and highly varied action
cons
- rather shallow (no witty sarcasm, some charas can seem pretty shallow and stupid at times, story has no conclusive finish but instead small holes in the end)
- very slow start and got repetitive here or there later on
- drawing style is nothing to get hyped about

conclusion: nothing to think about, nothing deep in any way --- but good if you want mindless fun and a great variety of action (don't let the thing with the baby home tutor scare you away). however, you need enormous amounts of patience, esp. at the start, and in the end it does get somewhat repetitive again. personally, i think it's fine, and i really was hooked for a while (middle part) but i'm not too hyped about this anymore.

peace. (show less)

SPOILER ALERT for those who're new to the series

Bleach in the beginning was great and I really liked it alot. But as the story continued it became less and less (bounto or something crap was really the worst shit i've ever seen). Then like Ichigo had trouble with a couple of captains but others he beat them without bankai or whatever (like kenpachi who released his eyepatch and what not). While kenpachi is one of the stronger ones.

And ishida lost his powers so many times... If you use that attack you will lose your powers.. few episodes later he got powers back...episodes later if you use that necklace thingy you will lose your powers..episodes later power back and it happend some more times.

Same goes with ichigo. if u unleash zangetsu you will lose ur powers.. bang powers back..later if u do that lose powers bang powers back and so on.. and now i get the feeling the writers are going on with the anime for the sake of it with not really interesting story or so...

I really had high hopes but because my expectations were to high it dissapointed me a little.
But still a good anime to watch. (show less)

Yes before I was in the area of Mafia stuff and who got to control the Family.

But after the fight with XanXus for the rings , It become silly and too childish so I stop wasting my time on it.

And let us till the truth, The First 18 eps was SO SO SO Soooooooooooooooooooooo boring that I got stomach ache . but after the main character which is F retard character got power it was good.

And so childish and far from reality and Mafia stuff so If u think it is near Mafia stuff Do not watch it ( I AM serious ), It is Full Full Full Fullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of Filer eps all the time.

If us say Bleach or Naruto had filer U will never believe the filer in this anime.

PS: Skip the first 18 eps and the watch it until the fight with XanXus and when its end F leave it. (show less)
